Oh thank you! Im sure all of us here on this site can take alot away from your one year of China experience!
I have so many questions! Such as :

Have you ever read anything on this site before?

Did you take a second to think before you posted this?

Were you aware that the vast majority of people here have experience here that dwarfs your own?

How did someone that lacks so much self awareness even manage to find his own ass let alone complete a year of work?

mike695ca:

Will there be a charge for this vast wealth of knowledge? How are you so giving?

Hey there!

 

Welcome to the site! I think you misunderstand the format of the answers section. This isn't an AMA. Basically, if you feel you have good knowledge to share, reply to a question with what you know.

Likewise, if you want to know something, post it and we'll try our best to respond.

I have a  few serious questions....

 

How will China manage the huge skill and experience drain when you skulk back to your mom's basement and settle into the well worn ass divet on her sofa and resume your real job playing xbox?

 

What will all of the girls do for sex now that you are ensconced on the basement fap-couch again?

 

I am guessing that during your extensive one year teaching gig, you had the opportunity to visit every place of note in China. Please list them in alphabetical order.

 

Thank you for your answers in advance

Where can I buy good cigars?

icnif77:

Try HK for all 3 Qs. Bring cash Rmb, and exchange it, before the purchase. You can also use China Merchants Bank Gold account with Visa/Mc logo for purchase.

While you're there, have a look at some gold and silver bullion too.

 

Cubans in Mong Kok in the Hotel on the L side of Nathan, while heading toward the sea. On the last traffic light before hitting the water. Can't remember the name.

Another cigar retail place is in Central. Everybody knows it.

I got my Nokia (in red) for HK$150. Battery is much better on HK models than mainland's.

How long are you in China?

How did you get all this points?

It does get worse. My knees are shot, years ago boom, I could not bend my leg to squat , then they became really stiff and painful. I'm debating knee replacements, don't want to go through it and I'm attached to my knees.
